Everyone is doing OF now. The edge has been blunted. Whats the next great thing after order-flow? I was thinking virtual reality headsets. dayTradr VR?

@LukePoga:: There is nothing after OF. Everybody is trying but only few understand it to use in a profitable way. In my opinion everything is said and everything is done with trading. Understanding auction and where market makers act is basic. There is nothing new under the sun. Just old wine in new bottles.

Have Fun Mate!

So to get daytradr linked up with TradeStation I just need to find a programer that can create a bridge is that correct?

Correct! It's not something we have to do ourselves.

Nothing has been blunted. But the tap of naive retail traders has been drained as far as those who willing to believe in moon phases, idiot waves and fib-bionics.

I agree!

I work with a lot of traders and I see a few problems recurring

- most people aren't actually serious about it
- most people are looking for an easy way to trade
- most people are looking to predict, in advance, where a market will reverse

It's like the diet industry - there's a million pages full of magic potions you can buy, magic diets, exercise regimes, magic pills....

But set up a web site telling people to eat less and exercise more - no-one will visit it...

Peter,

I've been going through the Jigsaw training modules, specifically the one focused on trading the open. Curious if you might have a link that could guide me through setting up my session strategies so that I can accumulate the overnight volume profile and then have it reset at 9:30am EST? I'm currently running the jigsaw platform with the default settings and I just realized I'm only getting the volume from 7:00 or 8:00am EST and then it resets at 9:30 EST......as opposed accumulating the volume profile from the entire overnight session, and then resetting.

Any help would be greatly appreciated as I'd really like to take advantage opportunities available at the US open whilst using the most relevant volume profile. I realize this should be a relatively simple task but I'd rather not screw it up!

Thanks!

Peter,

I think you can disregard my previous post. It seems like it was some kind of one day anomaly where I noticed my NT8 swing chart wasn't matching up with my Jigsaw overnight profile on the DOM. As far as I can tell everything is now behaving as it should.

Sorry for the lack of a reply - glad it's better - skype me on JigsawTrading if it occurs again.

Hi Peter

I've seen your comms about daytradr now having a simulator of its own with realistic fills.


As I understood it, to enable this funcionality one needs to connect to the website you mention in the video.

Is there the same functionality within the standalone version of daytradr?

Thx

I tried the daytradr sim functionality in the standalone version on Friday and it worked well. The Journalytix site is necessary to create the sim account and then when you open daytradr that sim account is available in the DOM trade panel account drop down window.
You do though need to ensure that in the configuration options for daytradr you have your correct Jigsaw membership username and password entered (for submitting trades to Jigsaw for the trade data analysis), as daytradr needs to contact the website to access the sim account details you created there.

You do not win as a trader, you just get to play again the next day. If that game doesn’t appeal to you then you should not trade. Gary Norden
